If I have read the docs/forums correctly, the above Options should allow for the Feature Image to be linked to the Feature Link URL. However, This is not the case for my site. I am sure that it is something I have missed, but can not figure it out.

PlatformPro is a legacy product, and many components don't have the same capacity that their Framework 2.x components have. So, if you're reading something about the Feature Slider in the forum and it's related to Framework, those same answers may not apply to PlatformPro.

You may want to consider upgrading soon, as PlatformPro may deprecate further with upcoming WordPress upgrades.

Thanks for the response. There is a good chance that the docs/posts I read pertained to the new platform. I am really hesitant to update to the new framework...but it seems I will need to do so . In the interim, am I to understand there is no working solution to accomplish my request?
